Description
This selection determines if a username and password is
required for Telnet Access (see FIG. 35).
• If Telnet access is enabled, a username and password is
required before allowing communication over either the Telnet
and/or SSH Ports. SSH version 2 is only supported.
• This authorized user must have sufficient access rights to login
through a Telnet session to the Master.
• To establish a secure Telnet connection, an administrator can
decide to disable the Telnet Port and then enable the SSH Port.
Refer to theSetting the Master's Port Configurations section on
page 74.
This selection determines if a username and password is
required before allowing a group/user to alter the current
Master's security configuration and communication settings (see
FIG. 35).
• Configuration access provides the user with the ability to
perform configuration functions on the NetLinx system through
NetLinx Studio. This includes such things as: IP
configuration/Reset, URL list settings, Master
communication settings, and security parameters.
• If security Configuration is enabled, a user/group must have
sufficient access rights to access the Main Security Menu.
• Any time a configuration operation is performed, the Master
verifies the current access rights for that feature and then
requires a valid username and password
(if not already logged in).
- An example would be if you are trying to add a New User or
modify the rights of an existing Group.
This selection determines if a username and password is
required prior to communication with a target NetLinx Master via
an ICSP connection using any transport method (TCP/IP, UDP/
IP, and RS-232) (see FIG. 35).
• If this access is enabled and the user is not logged-in, when the
user attempts to connect, the authentication fails and displays
an "Access not allowed" message.
• This feature allows communication amongst various AMX
hardware and software components. This feature works in
tandem with the Require Encryption option to require that
any application or hardware communicating with the
Master must provide a valid username and password.
• Refer to theICSP Authentication section below for more
detailed information.
Requires that any data being transmitted or received via an ICSP
connection (among the various AMX products) be encrypted and
that any application or hardware communicating with the Master
over ICSP must provide a valid username and password.
